Udachi.
Christine. Please put on a repeat of your RG match. Maumau. Stay relaxed, like you sounded on TV, please. I'm dreading chokes here, though. Doesn't help that her last 3 matches have basically been walkovers, either.

Yes, that would be fun.
Justine or Amelie must win. And Amelie won't. So, allez Justine.

Semifinal #5 for Amelie in her quest to return to a Slam final. Her last four opponents were Serena, Venus, Serena, Davenport. I guess I'd rather have Kim than them ...
Perhaps Kim will be ripe for the picking here. Patty was very complimentay about Amelie's game, though she did point out how it would be "mentally very hard" for her to win here. But maaaaaybe some of last year's Championships will carry over . God, I hope so.

She did play well against Patty. Didn't really in the set against Misa, though. Doesn't matter. This match is a huge hurdle for her.

The Masters YEC cup is just another tourney. Some players take it seriously. Some don't.

shit, sharapova is 6´2 (1,88)
she is huge
I thought she was like 5´10 5´11 like Mary Pierce

Post by shenaynay on Jan 25, 2006 21:41:04 GMT -5
She's not 6'2. Bovina was definitely taller than her when they met.

I like sharapovas forehand, the way she swings makes it look like a quite natural shot for her

power tennis, when the power players are not spraying the balls around, making tons of unforced errors, and if their strokes arent hideous, and if they can actually hit a lob, isnt so bad.
bp for justine, justine celebrates long backhand of sharapova with enervating allez
